we know more about the surface of our moon than we do about the depths of our oceans. Not new, but interesting enough

shit's HUGE

The solar system doesn't end at Pluto's orbit, it ends far beyond, at the end of the Oort Cloud

I've been here for 3 years now and this type of thread topic has almost died out...literally first time I've seen it in over 6 months.

Now tell me why is Biels ass always the OP pic?

There is a lot of it, and we will all die from its instability one day.

Jupiter's big red spot storm will eventually end

All the craters on the moon face Earth. Like previous civilizations shot at the Moon.

>I've been here for 3 years now and this type of thread topic has almost died out...literally first time I've seen it in over 6 months.
Nice to see it back though
>Now tell me why is Biels ass always the OP pic?
Not OP but I'd guess it's because she's a glorious fit-fu. 10/10 would bury my face in.

The part beyond what we know about or the 'void' is called the 'the extramundane'.

The Milky Way is on a collision course with a nearby galaxy

That's not true, though, the Moon is almost uniformly cratered

It isn't real!!

Andromeda?

There is a giant cloud bubble of alcohol floating around in space that is thousands of lights years wide

>this type of thread topic has almost died out
because space is fake and people are waking up to that?

IT'S MAKE BELIEVE

wrong

There's a moon in Saturn called Enceladus that has a global ocean covered by a huge ice cape. It also has cracks on it's south pole and giant water vapour geysers

inner core's solid, ya dingus

the planets are massive enough that when they're on the same side of the sun, they cause all the planets to not rotate around the sun, because they're rotating around a location outside the sun itself (barycenter)

Faith in humanity restored.

We sent a space probe that went further than Jupiter and Saturn

Yep, in 4 billion years

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda–Milky_Way_collision

...

If I went in to space to tap that ass without the appropriate attire, I would die.

Yea it's weird thinking about how even if the human race survives in one form or another that our little piece of the galaxy will be gone. Our home world swallowed by our dead star 3.4 billion years from now. Way before that even happens.

is it ok to call space black or it that being racist?

Gravity depends on the theory of magnetism...kek

Hope you don't mind if I drop a ceramic break over your head. Shits not magnetic so no gravity right????

All the models of the solar system that are shown in schools are proportionately incorrect

Your mum's proportionally incorrect.

The voyager left THE FUCKING SOLAR SYSTEM

the us gubmint paid to send porn to extraterrestrials

What he means is that almost all of the dark parts face Earth, which is what that photo shows.

That's because these aren't craters; they're newer crust. Just like the basaltic crust of our ocean floor is younger than the continental crust.

The moon, like the Earth and Sun, is growing. These darker sections grow "toward" Earth because of the gravitational effect of the Earth (like the Moon has an effect on Earth).

Google Neal Adams and Growing Earth. This is the most interesting thing you'll learn about space tonight.

Is it really true that the Earth might be flat and Hollywood-science is lying about it? I keep seeing memes to that affect, but I'm not sure if they are proven.....

The maximum possible life span of a human is 1000 years. The amount of background radiation absorbed would kill you at that point (even if nothinh esle would).

nasa gave earth a push-up bra so it no longer looks flat in photos

It's an Area of Color.

Not if I pull it out with a magnet

space american

lololol

That's not how radiation poisoning works. Just buck up and take some iodine pills

Thought instead of water it has liquid methane and methane geysers?

fucking pasta

newfag

Saturn isn't the only planet with rings, Jupiter and a few other planets have rings as well!

The James Webb Space Telescope, set to replace Hubble in Spring 2019, will attempt to view objects so far away that they are from the time period from when the first galaxies were formed. Even further, to the edges of the known universe, and we may even try to see what it was like before the creation of the universe, or at least gain more knowledge of how it was formed.

That's basically what I said

that's saturn's titan - it would be interesting trying to take off from the surface, the heat of your rockets would steam the nearby liquid surface into gas

Planets made completely out of diamond, erratic orbits around suns i.e a water planet that goes so close all the water evaporates, and when it moves away falls back to the surface and freezes over, planets with create glass shards in the atmosphere that fly at thousands of km's a second in storms, gas giants that are so close to their sun they are being literally being cooked, planets that are the color of charcoal.

The fact we would not be here without the alignment of our solar system, such as how jupiter draws massive asteroids towards it with its gravity that could've potentially been heading for earth.

Past that actually my dude. The Oort Cloud is still in the suns atmosphere look up the heliopause and shit. It's dope.

>try to see what it was like before the creation of the universe
How does that work?

if you were put in a random location in the universe ( X, Y, Z ) you'd be lucky to see 2 stars

how

More stars out there than there are grains of sand on earth. And that's just the ones we can see. The universe could be infinite

what's more mind blowing is how little time the human race has even existed. for some reason we perceive the passing of time at a pretty ridiculously slow rate, considering the amount of it there is. Like, in the past couple thousand years we've achieved what seems like so much since we watch every second, but on a galactic or universal scale, it's absolutely nothing. Strange that our brains observe time moving so slowly. Maybe there's races out there that perceive years as seconds, or vice versa. Species that go through entire life cycles in what seems to us mere minutes, or a species that takes a hundred earth years just to speak a sentence.

anyway to answer OP's question, personally I love the fact that Saturn's rings make a sound

venus surface is so hot it melts lead, and the atmosphere doesn't let the sunlight reach the surface. the way to colonize venus is floating the colony 50 km high using a giant donut balloon filled with oxygen. temperature is moderate there, and air pressure isn't 90x earth like it is on venus surface

...

We can't see anything beyond a certain point because the universe is expanding at faster than the speed of light at a certain distance... hence the "observable universe."

traditional discussion topics aren't the same as copypasta you fucking inbred.

>a species that takes a hundred earth years just to speak a sentence
It's called a tree.

even if we could build a spaceship that could go just under the speed of light ( c as a limit ), we could never get to another galaxy because of the dark energy inflation

Jupiter is so big, that it's gravity has a larger impact on us than we realize. Any asteroid that enters our solar system and pulled by Jupiter so hard it pretty much either gets eaten by it, or curved right the fuck back out of the solar system. It's like our protector.

and it got that way becuase of climate change brought on by CO2

hint, hint, hint

how close to mass=infinite at speed c are you talking?

We could die in an instant and not be able to see it coming.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-ray_burst

Well, you know how if you see a star, due to the time it takes for light to travel that distance, you are not seeing an accurate depiction of it, because it's possible it blew up years ago? Image the further you get, the earlier and earlier that light gets, so the furthest you could go, they could attempt to look at the edge of the known universe which would be the earliest observable light. Or something.

Nobody knows why gravity exists. All we know is that is a force the can be observed and measured.

In black holes with a spin (I'm not sure why this isn't true for black holes without spin), spacetime flips after you cross the event horizon. In normal spacetime, you can move freely in space but always move to a forward point in time. In a black hole, that eventuality becomes a point in space, regardless of how much time it takes you to get there.

On a related note, the event horizon is literally the radius at which space itself turns inward. No amount of force could let you escape the black hole because any direction you could possibly go leads you toward the center of mass.

mars atmosphere has higher CO2 levels than earth

It's crazy how perfect everything is for us -- we see all kinds of stars, we're protected from asteroids, perfect position from the sun, nice tilt for extra seasons, etc.

But that's my point, imagine if there were conscious intelligent beings that lived their lives at that speed. Wouldn't that be trippy as fuck?

even at the speed of light we couldn't , the expansion of spacetime is that significant between galaxies

If it weren't, we wouldn't be here to marvel about it in the first place.

not when you consider how there's billions of stars in our galaxy and billions of galaxies in the universe. statistically it makes sense that at least some of them would harbour planets with the correct conditions for life.

plus that guy is right in saying random X,Y,Z, but he's not saying a random STAR. the concentrations of stars are very dense, in galaxies and galactic clusters.

We wouldn't be able to perceive their consciousness, maybe. Like trees might be having deep thoughts and conversations with grove membersbut we wouldn't know it.

The Sun is moving at 67K mph through space and us along with it.

Why is this a thing

good thread OP.

Some people enjoy stimulation other than cuck porn and facebook stalking.

Something called the Drake equation actually worked out the odds of life in the universe.

BUUUU RAAAA ROOOOM

lol this. I wish we could have more of this stuff like back in the day before Sup Forums was just miscellaneous porn threads.

it's cool to think about right? like what if we did make contact with an extraterrestrial race, but their language was so slow it took 5 generations of humanity just to get past the initial "hello". We'd look like mayflies to them

They pointed Hubble at the darkest spot of the night sky and got this image. 10,000 galaxy's.

What are all those circles ruining the classic image?

what's the evolutionary advantage to having a slow language? besides not getting nagged to death so you live longer

Some white coats deemed them important for some reason. Just google a clean image. Search the most important photo ever taken.

I'm a flat Marser

Then how the fuck are we going to collide with Andromeda?

They wouldn't need an evolutionary advantage over species living in different corners of the universe. They would only gain any advantages or die trying while still interacting with their own originating planets biosphere.

idk man. I'm just speculating. Like, it makes sense for us to perceive time the way we do, in accordance with how long it takes us to orbit the sun, and the fact that life on earth is linked directly to the seasons. Maybe in a different solar system a host planet wouldn't be tilted enough to create different seasons, so lifespans wouldn't be tied to an arbitrary changing of the environment every few months. Or maybe the orbit is way faster or slower, I'm just thinking that we can't necessarily expect an alien species to live its life at the same rate as we do on earth, as one second or one minute to them might be much more or less significant

We are close enough together that we will collide before space is stretched too much. In a few billion years, creatures living in milkdromeda will know that galaxy as the entire observable universe.

same way when you throw a ball at someone, the space between you doesn't increase as its in mid air. local influence, in this case gravity acting on a galactic scale, is still going to affect the contents of the universe.

Not only are there black holes bit there are white holes as well that spew into our universe

Neil Armstrong wasn't the 1st man on the moon. The 1st was Yuri Takeshi, a gardener from Hiromshima who was standing near where the bomb detonated.

Check this documentary Darwin 4 out, what it could be like if we sent a probe to a planet and found life

youtube.com/watch?v=mS3mbKvSVDI

In order to cook a cake you must first create the entire universe, and it is perceived uniquely by are species with each of our minds, we are the result of the entire universe and its history, therefore we are the universe and our collection dare I say is god

So black holes suck in the universe and it comes out the white holes?

This is not true. It will be several more billion years until inflation overtakes the speed of light
